Letters

I had read the recent article on D-Day and I called The Acorn. Editor John Loesing was kind enough to give me the name of WW11 vet about whom the article was written. I was able to reach the vet, and meet him at his home. We chatted for almost two-and-a-half hours about his amazing experiences of WW11, D-Day,and Normandy. […]

To answer the question asked in a letter last week by Mark Leinwand (“How will we get the word to the animals that they should travel to this one spot to cross?”), first of all, thank you so very much for your support of the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing project. The site of the crossing is already a natural location […]

Regarding Mark Leinwand’s letter of the June 28 edition: I understand your perplexity concerning how animals will know to use the bridge over the 101 Freeway. I think there will be a “Bat Signal.” Jack BettridgeWestlake Village

I’ve been raising my family here in Agoura hills for the past 37 years. I have been driving Agoura Road from Las Virgenes Canyon in Calabasas to Hampshire Road out in Westlake Village for the past 50-plus years. What I’ve noticed driving along this country road all these years is how the trees are shaped like “Pac-Man” video game icons. […]

I am all for the bridge that lets animals safely cross over the 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills. It’s a great thing. But one thing perplexes me. How will we get word to the animals that they should travel to this one spot to cross? Signs? Ads? Billboards? Public service announcements on the “Animal Planet”? Mark LeinwandAgoura Hills

While I generally agree with this article (“Does healthy city need a new tax?”) from the June 14 edition, I do take issue with one aspect of it. According to the piece, we are suffering “record inflation.” That’s simply untrue and echoes a conservative talking point meant to mislead voters. Our current rate of inflation is 3.3%, according to the […]

Six weeks ago, my wife was rear-ended on the 10 Freeway while traveling to LAX. I drove from Agoura Hills to assist her. Fortunately, neither she nor the other driver was physically injured. However, the driver lacked both a license and insurance. After waiting two hours for a CHP officer, we learned the driver would receive a $1,000 citation but […]

Thank you for the May 10 Acorn article “Blueprint for new homes in Agoura on the four-story, 278 apartments and parking garage project at the Regency theater location. This project reinforces the fact that with a certain percentage of low-income housing units, new housing development projects can happen without any official public review. PEER’s (supportforpeer.com) public interest court hearing is […]

This letter is in response to the June 14 article “Grossman Sentence: 15 to life.” Judge Joseph Brandolino handed down what many observers considered a rather light sentence considering that she ran down two small boys while speeding after having consumed some amount of alcohol. She was charged with two counts of second degree murder and also leaving the scene. […]
